Michael Cohen finds himself staring at FBI agents at his door. His secret payment to porn star Stormy Daniels has made him a liability to President Donald Trump, ending their decade-long partnership in an instant. Cohen faces imprisonment despite possessing evidence of his innocence on most charges. The Steele Dossier compounds his troubles, generating relentless media reports linking him to clandestine Russian contacts. These allegations persist even after the Mueller Report clears him. Cohen fights to restore his reputation while exposing the truth about Trump. His battle reveals the dangerous consequences of challenging a president who recognizes no limits to his power. Speaking truth becomes a perilous act when that power turns against you.
